“What joys await the sower and the reaper, both together!”
The reaper of this spiritual harvest derives satisfaction from bringing others to experience eternal life.
Sometimes Christians excuse themselves from witnessing by saying that their family or friends aren't ready to believe. But our excuses don't stand up very well before the example of the Samaritan woman, who spoke to the very people most likely to reject anything she had to say. Her message was attractive because she described how Jesus had met her needs; she did not attempt to expose their needs.
Jesus made it clear that a continual harvest awaits reaping. Don't make excuses. If you are watchful and available, you will find people ready to hear God's Word.
So true, we should tell others what Jesus has done in our lives, and not expose their needs. How exciting it is when God does make a way for us to witness to other's. I just had this happen yesterday...I invited a friend to church through my sister who is visiting from Florida next week, and he said he would love to come. What joy I felt!! Praise God!!
